Thanks to our amazing partners at the North Carolina Society Daughters of 1812, DigitalNC is proud to announce that six new scrapbooks are now available online! These stunning scrapbooks beautifully chronicle six years of society activities, including historic reenactments, fundraising banquets, and historic preservation initiatives. Each chapter across North Carolina is represented in each scrapbook, and every issue is a stunning representation of the history that can be found across the state.

The scrapbooks encompass nearly a decade of recent activities conducted by the state chapter. They join six other scrapbooks currently available on DigitalNC, effectively doubling the society’s digital documentary record. The new scrapbooks cover the following years:

• North Carolina Society Daughters of 1812 [2013-2014]
• North Carolina Society Daughters of 1812 [2014-2015]
• North Carolina Society Daughters of 1812 [2015-2016]
• North Carolina Society Daughters of 1812 [2016-2017]
• North Carolina Society Daughters of 1812 [2017-2018]
• North Carolina Society Daughters of 1812 [2018-2019]

Each book includes content created by chapters located across the state, from Hendersonville to Wilmington. Each state chapter has their own unique method of recording their history, making each year’s scrapbook a colorful collection of contributions. For instance, the Commissioner Charles Gause Chapter of Wilmington consistently includes records of their awards to JROTC units in local high schools, while the Snap Dragon Chapter of Lumberton decorates their pages with paper-craft ships and naval motifs. Certificates awarded to the North Carolina Society also fill the pages of these scrapbooks, recognizing the society’s commitment to supporting students, veterans, and historic preservation.

Thanks again to the North Carolina Daughters of 1812 for making this collaboration possible. You can find these new scrapbooks online now at DigitalNC here.
